It's stormy, windy, and the power just came back on.

How is the weather in your area?

5. That's when you really hope the electricity stays ON.
Makes for a real cold house real quick when the furnace doesn't kick on :scared: and the temps are well below zero.
I hate that when that happens :-(

2. you're in HI, right?
I heard about this from our cousin Tammie. Most federal employees got sent home due to the weather -- unfortunately, she wasn't one of them. One of the contractors she works with was injured when the truck he was loading was hit by a fallen tree.

We're supposed to be getting a dusting of snow here. Nothing yet.

3. There were trees falling left and right
it was terrible. There was also flooding in many areas.

The power was out for about 5 hours. Luckily, I am on the dry side of the island (and it is still RAINING!!!)

4. Damn.
I had my fill of scary weather when a tornado came through here almost two years ago. We had to pry the cats out of the ceiling -- once we realized it was still attached to the house.

Stay safe!
